Good and yourself? alt: Oops, jhonora okay Seventies Soulchild .. you've got a BRB thingee with your name. Seventies Soulchild: oh let me take that off... thanks alt: yw guess AYWalton is either in B'ham or on the way Seventies Soulchild: Oh yes, she was set to leave today She said that she was on the hunt for some good BBQ... lol alt: 3rdthawkins, have you gotten squared away with your LUM's? are they AA? 3rdthawkins: Yes, I believe they are AA....I was trying to tell ryan yesterday before he left I didn't think that Moses was mine because he was in MS, white and my grgr was most probably living in SC in 1880 alt: that's what I thought you were telling him 3rdthawkins: that name shows up a few times in S.C. death records, but nothing pointing me to my grgr gm............I'm trying to get enough money to be able to order a few of her kids' SS apps to see what they put for her maiden name I'm in between Perkins and Lum..........Perkins is listed as her maiden name in her son's death certificate alt: I see familtsearch has added the beginnings of a few more Ohio databases... 1821-1962 birth & baptism....1800-1958 an Index of Ohio marriages & 1854-1997 index to deaths & burials. 3rdthawkins: but from the research that my gf's sister did, she has Lum for the maiden name and Perkins was a name for her (my grgr gm)'s mother alt: another possible to solve, but at least you have some clues and a starting point. 3rdthawkins: my grgr gm has other siblings that went by the Perkins last name, but I cannot find them in census alt: jhonora.. are you with us? jhonora: I'm here alt alt: I was also reading where Ohio has spent 13.9 million to build a Statewide County Birth & Death database Index ... Index searches will be online & free. you were so quiet jhonora jhonora: When did Ohio start recordation of births/deaths? 3rdthawkins: wow, alt alt: at the county level in 1867 .. State mandate in 1907 B & D index to be up & workable by the end of 2010. jhonora: That is great, here in La. if you are outside of N.O., Baton Rouge or Shreveport, you are out of luck. 3rdthawkins: I would like to know if there was any mention of my grgr grandfather Edd Hughes's death in LA (Longwood, Caddo Parish) in 1952 in the newspapers alt: and you can often find births & deaths recorded at the township level in county records as early as the twonship formation which may be as early as 1810 or so. 3rdthawkins: I could order his DC but I'm not sure if it will supply me with any more info than I already have jhonora: I think the black paper in Shreveport was off-an-on. Was he an important man? 3rdthawkins: lol no jhonora: I think the paper focused more on the socialite blacks of Shreveport. 3rdthawkins: he was a lowly farmer, so I dont' think he would get much recognition, maybe just a DC but $5 isn't bad for a DC though jhonora: 3rd, he was married to Katie. Born to Edd and Rosetta Hughes in Waksom, TX?? 3rdthawkins: yes jhonora: They have La. deaths on pilot.familysearch.org 3rdthawkins: yeah, that's where I found it, I was wondering if there was an obit, I know they can tell more than a DC but I believe Katie, my grgr gm was the informant, from the index, I can tell she did a great job with the information, just wish she had included maiden name for Rosetta that way I have another record to compare with Ed's other siblings alt: how old was he when he died in 1952? 3rdthawkins: 80 jhonora: You should check with the Broadmoor Library. 3rdthawkins: if you go by the birth year 1872, which she did alt: okay, so you at least have some census records from prior to 1930 3rdthawkins: I have all of them jhonora: They are on Captain Shreve Drive in Shreveport. alt: aren't his siblings listed.at least for 1880? 3rdthawkins: yes jhonora: Did any of them die in La., you could check their dc's? 3rdthawkins: only six lived to adulthood, I have DC for all six, they just about agree with the Copeland surname, though spelling is off on one or two, the oldest only "disagree" but I question the informant any way her daughter alt: does the LA death index have the 'advanced search' feature where you can use just names of parents first & last? 3rdthawkins: No jhonora, all TX hello Selma alt: hello Selma Selma: Good morning sunday brunchers 3rd, alt, jhonora, and seventies when she returns 3rdthawkins: I don't have John Hughes' DC jhonora: Morning Selma, found a McMurray from the article!!! 3rdthawkins: so scratch that, I only have five of the six Seventies Soulchild: I'm here multitasking...

She had a McMurray co-worker. Its the lady's uncle in the picture! Even militarily, all roads to Va. Selma: LOL alt: reading a wonderful article on "Practical Applications" for Ohio Tax List...
